Pandora, who happens to be the original Pandora's granddaughter, is traveling from place to place guarding the legendary box. Meanwhile, Xena and Gabrielle find a baby in the bulrushes. It transpires that King Gregor is out to find the baby because of a prophecy saying that the child shall grow up and take his throne. Xena and Gabrielle protect the child from an evil captain of the guards who plots in secrecy to overthrow the king. Xena figures out that the king was meant to adopt the baby since his own child died with its mother in childbirth. The king takes a liking to both the baby and Pandora, and he promises to guard both her and the box.

Secondly, he already met Xena with Gregor earlier on so when she spoke in his chambers, he should have recognized her voice.
